Purported to be the ‘Rick James of Brighton,’ there’s a healthy awkwardness to these jams, not necessarily full-on irony but they are self-conscious enough not to fall under the umbrella of “you can’t be serious.” Comicon is definitely serious. Strangely infectious last track “Fruit Smoothie”, a collaboration with Canadian jack-of-all-trades Motem (and it’s oddly enjoyable video) adds a dash of shy, post-Motown ‘stage fright soul’ to all that slick funk.
